YouTube is finally going all-in with music streaming, after years of false starts. First there was Music Key (not very good), and then the company launched the original version of YouTube Music (also not very good). Then they decided to relaunch it because third time is the charm, right? 

In this case, yes. The new version of YouTube Music is far better, and a legitimate competitor to Spotify and Apple Music. YouTube still has a ways to go before it reaches parity with those two, but it looks like the music streaming market is set for the foreseeable future, and it's looking like this will end up being a three-horse race.
